Question

read the sentence. rome has been called the eternal city for centuries because ancient citizens felt it was a utopian place with a monopoly of knowledge that would last forever. which words should be changed to make the sentence more appropriate for a general audience? \\(\circ\\) called and city \\(\circ\\) utopian and monopoly \\(\circ\\) citizens and knowledge \\(\circ\\) ancient and forever

Explanation:

To make the sentence appropriate for a general audience, we need simpler, more commonly - known vocabulary. "Utopian" (meaning having an idealized, perfect - society - like quality) and "monopoly" (exclusive control over something) are relatively less common words. Replacing them with more accessible terms would make the sentence easier to understand for a general audience. The other word pairs don't consist of words that are as specialized or less - known as "utopian" and "monopoly" in this context.

Answer:

B. utopian and monopoly
